Pools are the only team to beat the league leaders this season, and they did it again with another 3-2 win.

After early pressure from the away team, Pools took the lead when Lee Turner fired in from a tight angle in the 8th minute. Mitchell Noble looked suspiciously offside when he equalised just after the half hour mark, but moments later Ben Weighill restored their lead with a header at the far post.

Pools extended their advantage early in the second half when a corner was nodded back into the path of Turner, who fired in from close range. Joshua Shilman slid in at the far post to make it 3-2 with twenty minutes remaining, but the hosts comfortably held on, even though Ben Thacker was sent off in stoppage time.
